Financial Education Survey

We’ve all heard it said that ‘money isn’t everything’ and that there are many things in life ‘that money can’t buy.’ While these words of wisdom are true, money and our finances have the power to impact our lives in both positive and negative ways. In short, money is important. Money has power. It has the power to enrich our lives and the lives of those around us, and it has the power to shatter our sense of well-being. Jesus talked a lot about money, because ultimately our relationship to money is a spiritual issue.
